i'm not going to talk down to u i'm going to be straight foward with you. i had an iud put in 2 years ago and what to expect is cramping and a little bleeding afterwards but i had mine taken out and now i am having problems trying to get pregnant. Whick iud r u having put in the 5 year or 10 year? i had the 10 year

IUI and IUD are 2 very different things-pretty much complete opposites. IUD is a form of birth control, IUI is intrauterine insemination where they clean the man's sperm and insert it directly into the woman's uterus. Thanks for responding though, I hope you're able to get pregnant soon.

I'm having my first IUI done tomorrow morning. I only had 1 mature follicle on my right ovary. I took the HCG shot last night and today I can feel various pains on my right side...hopefully that means the HCG medicine is working. I'm really hoping this works the first time around. My husband and I have been trying for 7 years. I'm curious if your IUI worked. You posted your question on January 3rd, so by now you should know if you are pregnant. Was the procedure painful?

Any info would be great!

Thanks - Brie

I had 2 IUI with Clomid and the third one was with Gonal F. All 3 times, there were 2-3 mature follicles, measuring 15-17mm. Each round of IUI involved two days of back to back inseminations. So is a total of 6 inseminations. Insemination 1-5 did not hurt, but you definitely feel the pressure as the nurse is injecting the sperm. It took about 10-20 seconds. After that they told me I can get dressed and continue with my normal activity. On the 6th one, I had a special nurse, I truely believe it was her technique that made all the difference. She injected the sperm so slowly that I didn't even know she was doing it. I did not feel any pressure. It took here like 2 minutes! After that she advised me to just lie there for 5-10 minutes and I did. Now I am 1 month pregnant Good luck to those that are trying, hang in there, and I hope your wishes comes true.

I will also have my IUI, maybe in October. My sister had done the procedure before and she says it's not painful. It is just a simple procedure. I hope you had success with the IUI...

I did the Gonal F pen and as of an hour ago I did the actual iui procedure. Now I wait the two weeks...and the procedure was easy enough. Slight cramping when it was been injected but that's it. A little bleeding now but it's fine.
